Jan. 8 - After 10 years spent at the helm of UNICEF and with only four
months to go before her term expires in May, Carol Bellamy thought that
she had seen the worst. In its annual report published last month, The
United Nations Children's Fund denounced yet again the ravages of wars
and poverty on children, and the fact that, as witnessed in Beslan,
Russia, children were increasingly becoming not just the victims but
also the targets of the world's violence. If only her tenure had ended
on that note, sounded days before the catastrophic earthquake and
tsunami that has since crippled south Asia. Ten days after the
disaster, Bellamy called "rather conservative" the staggering estimate
that about a third of the tsunami's 155,000 victims are under the age
of 18.
